It is the country's only competitive basketball league and is thus seen as the national top level.
[1] The league is organised by the Khomas Basketball Association (KBA), which is located in Windhoek.
Because of its high level of competition, teams from other regions have also played in the league, and the Namibian Basketball Federation (NBF) has given the association a mandate to host a national tournament and form a national team.
The winners of each season are eligible to represent Namibia in the Road to BAL.
The KBA Premier League starts with a preliminary round in which the teams play in a round-robin format.
